"مطالع الأنظار على طوالع الأنوار"

[1071] fol.1v-214v(225r) Mahmud Ibn Abd al-Rahman Ibn Ahmad al-Isfahani محمود بن عبد الرحمن بن أحمد الإصفهاني Matali' al-anzar مطالع الأنظار .
A commentary by al-Isfahani (died 7491348; cf. GAL S II 137) on Tawali' al-anwar min matali' al-anzar طوالع الأنوار من مطالع الأنظار (about metaphysics) by al-Baydawi البيضاوي (died 7161316 or earlier); cf. GAL I 418 VI nr.2 and S I 742 VI nr.2.
Fol.1-3v seem to have been added later. Commentary and commented text are separated from each other by aqulu أقول and qala قال in red ink. Some glosses are added in the margin. Our ms. contains book I (fi al-mumkinat في الممكنات ; ends fol.126v) and II (fi al-ilahiyat في الإلهيات ; ends fol.214v). Book III (fi al-nubuwat في النبوات ) is missing. Between book I and II a fragment of a poem is inserted (126v-127r).
Between 9v and 10r is a lacuna 9v ends in fasl فصل 2 of the preface and 10v starts in fasl 1 of book I ch.1. This lacuna can be filled (except a part of fasl 2 of the preface and fasl 3) by fol.217r-225r (a late addition at the end of our ms.); these folios also contain the preface, fasl 4 (fi ahkam al-nazar في أحكام النظر ) and (on 224r1ff.) the beginning of book I. This beginning overlaps with the passus starting fol.10r1 10r1-10v10 is this 224v3-225v, ult. - An overlapping has also happened on 3r15-3v, ult. this piece is also on 4r1-18 this overlapping happened because fol.1-3 have been added later; the handwriting is different from the one on fol.217-225.
